January Jones slams United Airlines for offering $15 food vouchers following 16-hour flight delay: ‘Do better’
January Jones called out United Airlines for offering her $15 food vouchers following a 16-hour flight delay.
The “Mad Men” actress took to Instagram Stories on Sunday to share a screengrab from the airline’s app that showed her flight was “estimated” to depart in a whopping 16 hours and 25 minutes.
“Do better @united,” she captioned the snap. “A couple $15 food vouchers isn’t gonna cut it. Our 7:30p flt last night still hasn’t left.”
Jones, 47, followed up her screenshot with a photo of her lying on the floor of an airport with her head resting on a backpack.
“Is there still a secretary of transportation? Can’t remember what’s left..” she captioned the picture.
Jones’ commentary was meant to shade President Trump, who has laid off thousands of federal employees –– including people at the Department of Transportation. Trump chose former U.S. representative Sean Duffy as the transportation secretary in January.
A United Airlines rep told Page Six that regional airline SkyWest was responsible for the flight.
“On Saturday, SkyWest Flight 5087, operating as United Express from Los Angeles International Airport to Prescott Regional Airport was delayed overnight due to a mechanical issue,” a SkyWest Airlines rep told Page Six Monday.
“Passengers were provided with hotel and meal vouchers and compensation before the flight departed Sunday on a different aircraft. We apologize for the inconvenience,” they concluded.
Jones did not share an update on her whereabouts, so it’s unclear if she boarded a flight to Arizona.
The “Love Actually” star joined a slew of celebrities and reality TV stars who have vocalized their dissatisfaction with airlines over the years.
Most recently, Jessica Chastain faced backlash for calling out JetBlue‘s attempts to compensate her for being unable to offer her inflight entertainment throughout a six-hour flight.
